Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 817: Entrustment, Regent King!

Rong Si’s words were filled with genuine emotions, making Qi Yun exceedingly happy as he embraced her tightly, his voice even quivered due to his excitement.

"Good, good... If Yun’er is willing, we’ll leave here and live a carefree life. I remember you once said you didn’t like the deep palace walls."

"Yes, big bear, are you going to fulfill your previous promises now?"

Rong Si lifted her gaze, blinking her bright eyes, looking joyful.

"Yes, back then, I had so many things that I couldn’t let go, too many responsibilities. But now... I’ve let them all go. If you want to leave, we’ll leave here."

"Great, great! Big bear, hug hug!"

"..."

Li Qingmu held Long Yue’s hand, the couple watching the playful and loving Rong Si and Qi Yun, looking just like little children, couldn’t help but smile.

"I really didn’t expect that the Princess, who previously pursued power and was so eager for the Imperial Palace, would actually dislike it, even hate it after becoming Princess Consort Yun?

Perhaps, this is her most genuine inner thought? She used to be blinded by her desires, but in reality, she didn’t like that kind of life?"

Li Qingmu pondered for a moment, and said: "Those involved are confused, while observers are clear. As Princess Rong Si, she took on too many responsibilities and put too much pressure on herself. So when she became Princess Consort Yun, she instinctively hated that scheming life. However..."

Li Qingmu laughed, "Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise? At least now, I feel it’s quite good."

"Yes, our family can finally be whole and together."

Long Yue hugged Yaoyao, and beside them was Xiao Rui’er, seriously holding onto his own foot, with such a small serious and careful look, as if a slight release would make his mother disappear again.

"Do you think, if Father wants to leave the Imperial Palace, where will he take Mother?"

Now everything has returned to normal, Li Qingmu is by her side, the children are also nearby. Long Yue felt life was complete, so the resentment towards Qi Yun vanished, and it felt natural to call "Father".

Li Qingmu shook his head: "I don’t know, but probably not too far from here, right?"

Living in a place too remote and insecure, even if Qi Yun wanted to go, as his son, Li Qingmu wouldn’t agree. Would they truly live simply in a hut, with coarse tea and simple meals?

That would certainly not be possible.

Just as they were considering where Qi Yun would move, Qi Yun and Rong Si, after some affectionate time, suddenly beckoned, "Mu’er, come over here."

Li Qingmu and Long Yue were momentarily startled but obediently came over.

"Father?"

Looking at his son, compared to when he came to Shengjing, the once young boy had now become a mature young man, responsible and courageous, which made him quite gratified.

"Mu’er, Father is taking your mother away from here."

"Yes, I know, but Father, where are you going?"

Li Qingmu looked at Qi Yun with anticipation, wondering if it would be a nice place where maybe he could move as well?

This way, he and Yue’er could often take care of them, and Rui’er and Yaoyao could be with their grandparents, wouldn’t that be great?

How clever was Qi Yun? He immediately saw through his son’s little thoughts, and with a smile said, "Mu’er, the place your mother and I are going to isn’t too far, near Beiyuan Palace there’s a land of idyllic beauty, haha, speaking of which, Father had already chosen this place beforehand, planning to be there with Yun’er in the future..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Rong Si, filled with tenderness in his eyes.

Rong Si grinned, "So, big bear had thought it through long ago, huh, tricking me for so long, I hate it!"

She said as she went up to kiss Qi Yun.

The old husband and young wife indeed brought out a sense of warmth and melancholy.

"Father, if you go there, I’d like to take Yue’er, Rui’er, and Yaoyao and go with you, so everyone can take care of each other..."

Li Qingmu quickly expressed his thoughts.

Qi Yun was slightly surprised, having not expected Li Qingmu to have this thought? He had thought he merely wanted to visit them more?

Qi Yun fell silent, Li Qingmu noticed his lack of response and was unsettled, "Father?"

Qi Yun looked up at him, with an exceedingly serious expression, and said: "Mu’er, Father cannot agree to this."

"Why?"

Li Qingmu was puzzled and confused, wouldn’t it be nice for the family to live joyfully together? Why not?

Didn’t he know that Li Qingmu always wanted to have a complete family?

Qi Yun sighed, "You need to watch over this world for Father!"

"Me?"

Li Qingmu was stunned, for himself to watch over this world? Isn’t this world peaceful enough?

"Mu’er, Father knows what you’re thinking, your mother and I are getting old, it’s time to enjoy the rest of life, but you and Yue’er are different, you still have great prospects, your children are still young, how could you think about living a common, carefree life?"

Li Qingmu was choked, falling silent instantly.

Indeed, he was too naive.

After the journey to Daliang, he felt a bit tired and wanted to lay down his burdens and live a carefree life, but after all, he was a father, could he let his children live simply in a hut?

That would certainly not be possible!

Qi Yun sighed lightly, "Mu’er, from now on, you will be the Regent King, assisting the Emperor in managing state affairs, Father will give you the Yulong Pavilion to oversee, you know Yama and Luosha, and you’re not too much older or younger than them, you will get along very well."

"Father!"

Li Qingmu was completely stunned, was he joking? To let him be the Regent King and assist Qi Junlian?

Didn’t he know that Empress Dowager Li wanted to kill him?

"Mu’er, do you think Father’s decision is ridiculous? Haha, actually, Father thinks the same, but precisely because Empress Dowager Li has undue ambitions, Father has to do this, understand?

Mu’er, you must have a support system to ensure stability in Dazhou, Father doesn’t want to see you struggling again for survival."

Qi Yun spoke sincerely.

Li Qingmu was smart enough to understand Qi Yun’s deep meaning immediately.

This was helping him watch over Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li was a restless woman, now with Li Qingmu overseeing Sanqing Palace, even if he usually isn’t steady with state affairs, he has his hands on Yulong Pavilion, and with his experienced ministers on the court, if he wants to issue an order, no one will disobey.

Everything seemed stable.

But, once he leaves? What will this Imperial Palace become?

Qi Junlian has always been unwell, then would he pass away prematurely? And after he’s gone, how would Empress Dowager Li act? Seize control and govern from behind the scenes?

Qi Yun had already calculated all this early on, so before completely leaving the Imperial Palace, he left Li Qingmu as that unassuming chess piece.

"Mu’er..." Qi Yun reached out, holding Li Qingmu’s hand, "Can you... help Father one more time?"
